< Revelation 5 >

1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
Pea ne u mamata ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo ia naʻe nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki ʻae tohi kuo tohi ʻi loto mo tuʻa, pea fakamaʻu ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakamaʻu ʻe fitu.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose its seals?
Pea ne u mamata ki ha ʻāngelo mālohi, ʻoku kalanga ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, “Ko hai ʻoku taau ke toʻo ʻae tohi, mo vete hono ngaahi meʻa fakamaʻu ʻo ia?”
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look upon it.
Pea naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ʻi he langi, pe ʻi māmani, pe ʻi lalo ʻi māmani, ʻoku faʻa fai ke toʻo ʻae tohi, pe ke mamata ki ai.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open, and to read the book, neither to look upon it.
Pea ne u tangi lahi, koeʻuhi naʻe ʻikai ke ʻiloʻi ha taha ʻoku taau ke ne toʻo mo lau ʻae tohi, pe ke mamata ki ai.
5 And one of the elders saith to me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose its seven seals.
Pea pehē ʻe ha tokotaha ʻoe kau mātuʻa kiate au, “ʻOua ʻe tangi: vakai, ko e Laione ʻoe faʻahinga ʻo Siuta, ko e Aka ʻo Tevita, kuo ne lavaʻi ke ne toʻo ʻae tohi, pea ke vete ʻa hono meʻa fakamaʻu ʻe fitu.”
6 And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the throne, and of the four living beings, and in the midst of the elders stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
Pea ne u mamata, pea vakai, ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki mo e meʻa moʻui ʻe fā, pea ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe kau mātuʻa, naʻe tuaʻā e Lami ʻo hangē kuo tāmateʻi, kuo fitu ʻae nifo ʻi hono ʻulu, mo e mata ʻe fitu, ʻaia ko e Laumālie ʻe Fitu ʻoe ʻOtua ʻoku fekau atu ki māmani kotoa pē.
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
Pea naʻe haʻu ia, ʻo ne toʻo ʻae tohi mei he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo ia naʻe nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki.
8 And when he had taken the book, the four living beings, and four [and] twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints.
Pea ʻi heʻene toʻo ʻae tohi, naʻe fakafoʻohifo ʻi he ʻao ʻoe Lami ʻae meʻa moʻui ʻe fā mo e kau mātuʻa ʻe toko uofulu ma toko fā, naʻa nau taki taha ʻae haʻape, mo e hina koula kuo pito ʻi he meʻa namu kakala, ʻaia ko e ngaahi lotu ʻoe kakai māʻoniʻoni.
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals of it: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and language, and people, and nation;
Pea naʻa nau hiva ʻaki ʻae hiva foʻou, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku taau mo koe ke toʻo ʻae tohi, Pea ke vete hono ngaahi meʻa fakamaʻu ʻo ia: He naʻe tāmateʻi koe, Pea kuo ke huhuʻi ʻae kakai ʻaki ho taʻataʻa ki he ʻOtua, Mei he faʻahinga, mo e lea, mo e kakai, mo e puleʻanga kotoa pē.
10 And hast made us to our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Pea kuo ke ngaohi ʻakinautolu ko e ngaahi tuʻi mo e kau taulaʻeiki ki homau ʻOtua: Pea te nau pule ʻi he maama.”
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, and the living beings, and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
Pea ne u vakai, pea u fanongo ki he leʻo ʻoe kau ʻāngelo tokolahi naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki mo e ngaahi meʻa moʻui mo e kau mātuʻa: pea ko honau lau ko e ngaahi toko mano lauʻi ngaahi mano, mo e ngaahi toko afe lauʻi ngaahi toko afe;
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.
‌ʻOku nau pehē, ʻaki ʻae leʻo lahi, “ʻOku taau mo e Lami naʻe tāmateʻi Ke tuku kiate ia ʻae māfimafi, mo e koloa, mo e poto, Mo e mālohi, mo e fakaʻapaʻapa, mo e ongoongolelei, mo e fakafetaʻi.”
13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, [be] to him that sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb for ever and ever. (aiōn g165)
Pea ne u fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻaia ʻoku ʻi he langi, pea ʻi he māmani, pea ʻi lalo ʻi māmani, pea mo ia ʻoku ʻi he tahi, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi ai, naʻa nau pehē, “Ke ʻiate ia ʻoku nofo ʻi he nofoʻa fakaʻeiʻeiki, pea ki he Lami, ʻae fakafetaʻi, mo e fakaʻapaʻapa, mo e ongoongolelei, mo e māfimafi, ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.” (aiōn g165)
14 And the four living beings said, Amen. And the four [and] twenty elders fell down and worshiped him that liveth for ever and ever.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he meʻa moʻui ʻe fā, “ʻEmeni.” Pea naʻe fakafoʻohifo ʻae mātuʻa ʻe toko uofulu ma toko fā, ʻo hū kiate ia ʻoku moʻui ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata.
